If you're thinking about stepping into the ring or you feel like you need a change from your current gym, Northside boxing has the experience and the facilities to give you more than just a 'fighting chance' in your next fight.
Boxing ClassesHealth
Regular exercise helps prevent a wide range of health issues, including stroke, diabetes, depression, multiple types of cancer, arthritis and more. It also promotes better sleep.
Confidence
Setting and achieving goals in the gym carries over into other aspects of your day to day life. A strong core contributes to good posture, trimming your silhouette and projecting confidence.
Energy
Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently, giving you more energy to tackle life.
Fitness
Becoming fitter breaks down many barriers in everyday life. Start saying YES to going for that hike with friends, say YES to climbing Mt Ngungun to take awesome selfies with your friends on Instagram :)
Strength
Many simple tasks rely on your core, which you may not notice until it becomes difficult or painful. Putting on shoes, picking up that package, turning to look over your shoulder, or simply standing still.
Laughter
Although boxing is serious and demanding, we always end up sharing a laugh. Who doesn't enjoy laughing.
Boxing Classes
We get it — fitness can be tough to get into. It hurts, it’s uncomfortable, and it often pushes you to do things you'd rather avoid. After a few weeks or months, it’s easy to lose interest.
But that’s where Northside Boxing Brisbane comes in — well, mostly...
Our Boxing Classes are still going to challenge you. You’ll feel the burn, get out of your comfort zone, and do things you might not want to. But you’ll keep coming back. Why? Because our training method is designed to build strength, endurance, and cardiovascular health in a way that’s always exciting, always fun, and always delivers results.
In just 45 minutes, you’ll power through a variety of fitness and boxing-specific exercises in our fully equipped training area. We’ve got the bags, the ropes, and the space for you to push up, jump, squat, and keep going until you’re ready to drop.
No matter your fitness level—whether you’re just starting out or already in great shape — you’re welcome in our classes. In fact, we prefer if you’re not super fit, because that’s exactly why we created these classes in the first place.
Our classes have been built on the idea that you don’t get fit to box; you box to get fit. So, what are you waiting for?
If you’re ready to join our next "sweatathon," check out our class times below. We’ll see you there.

Personal Training
You have a fitness goal you want to reach, but getting there can be tough. There’s the challenge of finding time, not always knowing what steps to take, and perhaps most challenging of all, the willpower to keep going when your body and mind are telling you to quit.
We’re here to tell you that’s about to change, starting now with our Personal Trainer options — the perfect solution for anyone who wants to reach their fitness goals.
We’re with you every step of the way. When you’re short on time, we’ll help you make the most of it. When you’re unsure of what to do, we’ll guide you with a clear plan and the reasons behind it. And when you feel like you can’t push any further, we’ll show you just how much more you’re capable of — usually a lot more than you ever thought possible.
Give yourself the chance to finally reach those goals. We promise to deliver the results you want, tailor sessions to your fitness level and goals, and keep things interesting with boxing-specific exercises. And if you prefer a female trainer, we’ve got you covered there too.
If you’re ready to book an experienced, knowledgeable, and all-in personal trainer, contact us now.
Sessions are 30 minutes long
We also offer personal training packages in groups, for the perfect team building experience.

Pushing yourself in training is essential for progress, but so is giving your body the recovery it needs. After all, it’s during recovery that your muscles rebuild, your energy stores replenish, and your body becomes stronger. Ignoring recovery can lead to burnout, injury, and stalled progress.
That’s why we offer a range of recovery services designed to keep you at your best. Our sauna helps to relax muscles, flush out toxins, and improve circulation. The ice bath is perfect for reducing inflammation, easing sore muscles, and speeding up recovery time. And our massage therapy targets those tight spots, releasing tension and improving flexibility.
Whether you’ve just finished a grueling workout or you’re simply feeling the wear and tear of consistent training, these recovery options will help you bounce back faster, stronger, and ready for your next session.
Don't overlook the importance of recovery — take advantage of our sauna, ice bath, and massage services.

Testimonials
Act Now... Life is short!
My name is Trevor Cogzell, born in Warwick and grew up in Townsville and Clifton. At the Clifton State School I first met Alan Moore, whose father Selby Moore had a boxing tent on the showgrounds. Alan was a tent fighter and Australian Welter Champion. I must have got the boxing bug from him. Although I only did a little boxing in Clifton I was always very interested in boxing and saw some great boxing and great Australian fighters whilst living in Clifton.
I then moved to Brisbane and went to school but boxing training was only for pro fighters, not like today where everyone has the opportunity to get involved in boxing. I was 64 years old when I went with another very capable boxer, Scott Tweede, to Northside Boxing just to have a look around. Scott was impressed and said "Trevor, you should start here now to get your fitness and rhythm back". I went home and thought about it and rang the next day to find out what goes on there. I decided to give it a go and joined the group class the very next day. Everybody made me feel really welcome and helped me out on my first day.
After a couple of weeks I started training directly with JoJo. I went in there at 81kgs. Slowly getting fitter, faster, and stronger, today at 69 years I am weighing in at 73.5kgs and have improved beyond what I ever expected. I just had my yearly medical check-up, which includes a lot of tests, and when I went for the results my Doctor was amazed at my results and my level of fitness.
This has been attributed to some hard work by me but I must also thank JoJo for his time and patience. It if was not for him keeping me going who knows where I would be. Going to Northside Boxing is a pleasure with lots of fun and laughter. It is, without a doubt, the highlight of my day and I look forward to training and being part of the great community of people at Northside Boxing.
To JoJo, Robert, David, Carl, Todd and Deano I say Thank you!!!
If you have the desire to go and keep fit ACT NOW... LIFE IS SHORT.

more burpees than I could possibly count!
I started going to Northside Boxing in 2008, doing classes in the evenings and on Saturdays. In 2012, I was ready to step it up a notch, so started Personal Training sessions with Jojo twice a week. I got addicted pretty easily and was up to 3 PT sessions plus the Saturday classes in no time.
I have been to normal gyms in the past and find it hard to motivate myself and get bored easily. I really enjoy the challenge of boxing and the variety of the PT sessions. Everyone at Northside Boxing is really friendly and all of the trainers challenge you to improve.
Over the last six months, with focus on my nutrition as well, I have lost 6kgs and have hit some fitness milestones - 2 dead-hang chinups all by myself, cut 10 minutes off my 5km run time and more burpees than I could possibly count!
I would highly encourage anyone looking for a challenge to check out Northside Boxing.

How to get off the couch and into the ring
Have you ever heard the saying "Do one thing every day that scares you?" - The idea is to keep pushing and challenging yourself to try new things. I have to admit, I was a little scared on my first visit to Northside Boxing in Nundah. With the theme song from Rocky playing in my head, I pumped myself up and went on in only to be pleasantly surprised.
Northside Boxing is an old school, no frills, down and dirty boxing gym. But while the boxing is tough, the trainers are actually really nice, encouraging and even funny. Having great trainers makes a heart pounding, sweat pouring session so much more rewarding. We've all seen boot camp style sessions where the trainer is screaming at you - you won't get that here. The trainers are going to push you but they are far more interested in motivating you to feel fitter, stronger, and faster than raising their voice. And for a woman, that makes all the difference, especially when you are in a boxing ring for the first time.
Northside Boxing offers both group fitness and personal training programs under the guidance of owner Jojo Tipace. I opted to start with a personal training session, so that I could learn a bit of technique and get more comfortable with my own ability before joining a group session. If you have never boxed before, I would highly recommend starting with a personal session just so you get to learn the ropes (geez, sorry I couldn't resist the bad joke!).
Northside Boxing has a lot of great things going for it:
- No membership contracts - you only pay for the sessions you need and aren't locked into any contracts.
- Excellent Value - (they even offer multi-session discounts).
- Easy location - walking distance from Northgate and Nundah train stations with plenty of free on-site and street parking.
- Great atmosphere - Northside Boxing looks, feel and smells like a boxing gym. You're not there to check out the latest gym gadgets or admire the Lorna Jane gym fashion- you're there to work.
I have already signed up for more sessions and can't wait to test myself in an upcoming group session!

It´s simply a great way to get fit, have fun and socialise

Fitter In My 30s Than I Was In My 20s
I first started at Northside Boxing 12 months ago and I have lost 20 kg´s. The key for me, is that the training has been fun and the environment friendly!
If the training wasn´t enjoyable then I´d have given up long before I saw the results!! The trainers are also very knowlegable and have given me advice on diet and training regimes away from the gym.
It's a friendly place without big egos and no one has pushed me to do anything I wasn't comfortable with. I have far more energy than a year ago and despite being 37, I'm now far fitter than I was in my 20s.
It has also been great for my state of mind. Life always throws the unexpected but the gym has given me a great escape and the endorphin rush makes you feel great. I would recommend Northside Boxing to anyone who wants to improve their quality of life. You can this by feeling healthy, having fun and looking the best they can.

My name is Toutai Kefu, former Queensland Reds captain and Wallabies vice captain. I have been playing professional rugby for 9 years and have played 103 times for Qld and 60 times for my country.
I have been currently injured now for over 6 months and have been training with Jojo Tipace for two months. His wide range of fitness preparation, especially boxing has helped me attain my previous fitness levels that i once had at the top rugby level.
I totally recommend Jojo to any sporting team or organisation!
